Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger Expects More Transfer Business Before the Deadline

The merry-go-round at the Emirates shows no signs of slowing down, as Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that there could still well be more transfer activity to follow at the club.

The Gunners have been uncharacteristically very animated in this January window, with high-profile players both leaving and coming, with more business to be done before the deadline expires on Wednesday evening.

It was confirmed earlier on Wednesday that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had completed his move to Arsenal in a club-record move, joining up with his former Dortmund teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan - who signed a week earlier as a part-exchange deal with Manchester United for Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal will also be expected to be busy on the departures front, as the club prepares to offload deadwood, as well as send promising youngsters out on loan for more certainty on game time.

The future of Olivier Giroud at Arsenal still hangs in doubt, as it was deemed that the signing of Aubameyang was somewhat dependant on Giroud joining Chelsea, in turn paving the way for Michy Batshuayi to join Dortmund. However, both Arsenal and Chelsea are yet to come to a deal, as Giroud came off the bench in Tuesday night's defeat at Swansea.
